Schmidt Still Deciding on Future

The IRFU will have to wait a little longer before finding out what Joe Schmidt intends to do about his future.

According to a report in the Irish Times the Ireland head coach has deferred a decision for another two weeks.

Schmidt's current deal runs out at the end of this season and while there had been indications that he would inform the IRFU about his plans by the end of August it's believed he needs a little bit more time.

The Kiwi has an open-ended offer from the IRFU to extend his four year term with some reports recently claiming he was weighing up a two year extension.
